That's a great observation! Nikola Jokic's strategic approach really highlights his incredible basketball IQ. His ability to read and exploit the defense is what makes him such a formidable player in the playoffs.

A. It was way more than Jokic that "solved" the defense.
B. It was way more than Gobert.
C. The most dominant defensive performance Minnesota had was due to their guards smothering Jamal Murray (who was probably injured).
Spacing, picks, pacing, Aaron Gordon with the ball.
